A dozen times a day I am asked to tell when we will have television. And by television my friends mean a system whereby they turn a knob as they do on their radio sets and see swiftly moving events, football games, yacht races, and so on displayed on a screen hung on the wall.
When I reply that I don't know, people seem astonished. For a couple of years now, newspapers and the public have talked of television as an accomplished fact.It is really hard to convince the half-informed person that television, regardless of what tomorrow may bring, today is nothing more nor less than a laboratory plaything.
